ABSTRACT

An engine comprising a connecting rod, a piston and a crankshaft, the connecting rod connecting between the piston and the crankshaft, characterized in that: the connecting rod having at least one hole which provides the lubrication path between the connecting rod and piston conjunction point.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] 1. Field of Invention

[0002] The present invention relates to a lubrication system of engine, more particularity, and to a connecting rod structure which has at least one hole to provide lubricating effect between connecting rod and piston.

[0003] 2. Description of Prior Art

[0004] Generally speaking, most of engine includes a connecting rod, a crankshaft and a piston and provide power to a machine such as car. The state of engine directly effects life of machine and performance so that a way to maintain is mainly lubricant. The lubricant mostly functions describes as following:

[0005] A. Decreasing of Friction

[0006] The metal surface is perfect smooth, but could create abrasion condition working in long term. The lubricant oil provides each parts of engine to lubricate for decreasing of friction between surfaces of metals.

[0007] B. Decreasing of Engine Temperature

[0008] The temperature of engine inside is high at 500 to 600□. In this situation, the metal not only expands to create traction but also creates carbon blacks to make higher friction heat in combustion. Therefore, using lubricant oil is best way to cool the engine.

[0009] C. Seal Function

[0010] The power of engine results from the burning high pressure gas in cylinder, and the lubricant oil makes seal on wall of cylinder in order to make the detonation power 100 percents used.

[0011] D. Clean Function

[0012] The inside of cylinder usually creates some carbon blacks or others materials in the combustion process, and the lubricant oil could bring these materials out of cylinder to maintain cylinder inside clean by circumfluence.

[0013] Generally, the lubrication system describes as following:

[0014] A. Splash Oiling System

[0015] In the splash oiling system, oil is whipped up by the crankshaft and connecting rods rotating around and dipping into the oil troughs. Oil is splashed everywhere inside the engine, and trickles down into oil collection holes and thus lubricates the bearing surfaces. Sounds precarious, but was standard automotive practice on the majority of motor vehicles of the times. It worked—probably as long as there is no prolonged high speed running . . . Roads were mostly rough dirt tracks in those days, so high speeds were rarely even contemplated.

[0016] B. Partial Pressure Oiling System

[0017] The mostly oil is provided by oil pump.

[0018] C. Splash-Pressure Mixed Oiling System

[0019] The lower parts of engine used the splash oiling lubrication and the other uses the pressure oiling lubrication.

[0020] D. Pressure Oiling System

[0021] All parts of engine are lubricated by oil pump.

[0022] The conventional lubrication system has some disadvantages such as the short of lubrication between the connecting rod and piston after the engine did not work at long time, the engine could be damage. Further more, the oil pump needs more power to work so that each parts of engine could lubricate leading to spend more gasoline.

SUMMARY OF INVENTION

[0023] It is an object of the present invention is to provide at least one hole of connecting rod structure which makes effective lubrication between the connecting rod and piston.

[0024] It is another object of the present invention to provide a connecting rod structure which to save energy of oil pump and gasoline.

[0025] The present invention discloses a saving power and simple structure in a car engine. The engine includes a piston, a connecting rod and a crankshaft, and the connecting rod connects the piston and the crankshaft. The conventional lubrication system is provided an oil pump to lubricate each composition in engine. The piston and pin is lubricated by an oil path of connecting rod. The present invention provides at least hole to lubricate between the piston and connecting rod as well as piston pin. The oil is directly provided by the oil pump, and the connecting rod structure does not construct any oil path to provide lubrication.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0026] The above and further objects, features and advantages of the invention will become clear from the following more detailed description when read with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:

[0027]FIG. 1 is a illustrated view of the present invention; and

[0028]FIGS. 2A to 2D are illustrated views of the oil lubricating ways of the present invention.

DETAIL DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0029] Referring to FIG. 1, the present invention discloses a connecting rod 10 which connects a piston 20 and a crankshaft 30. The connecting rod 10 comprises at least one hole 12 which provides lubrication system to engine. Furthermore, one end of the connecting rod 10 couples to the piston 20 has at lest one hole 12 to lubricate. The connecting rod 10 does not design any oil path for lubricating between the connecting rod 10 and the piston 20. According to design of the present invention, the structure of the connecting rod 10 of the present invention provides an effective lubrication system to lubricate between the piston 20 and connecting rod 10.

[0030] Referring to FIGS. 2A to 2D, the connecting rod of present invention provides the lubrication system in engine operation. In this embodiment discloses four holes of lubrication system between the connecting rod and piston. Referring to FIGS. 2A to 2D, the holes provide oil to lubricate between piston and connecting rod. When the engine begins to operate, the piston and connecting rod always are short of oil to lubricate. Therefore, the engine is often broken down as lack of lubrication system. The present invention provides the engine which could faster operate in any situation.

[0031] When the piston moved down, the oil is provided by upper holes as FIG. 2A. And, as FIG. 2B, the piston moved right, the oil is provided by left lower hole. Further, the piston moved up, the oil is provided by upper holes, as FIG. 2C. According to FIG. 2D, when the oil moved left, the oil is provided by right lower hole.

[0032] The present invention discloses a lubrication system between the connecting rod and piston. The oil lubrication has a cool function to provide between the connecting rod and piston when the engine is running. Owing to the oil directly provides between the connecting rod and piston, the equipment saves power of oil pump. The conventional oil pump needed more power so that the connecting rod and piston have sufficient oil lubrication to lubricate. And, the oil pump does not need more power, the equipment can save fuel. Further, the lubrication system of the present invention is directly provided oil lubrication by oil pump so that the lubrication is effective more than conventional lubrication by the lubrication path of connecting rod.

[0033] The present invention comprises at least one hole of connecting rod to provide lubrication between the connecting rod and piston. The hole of connecting rod sets on one end of connecting to piston. The advantages of the present invention are effective lubrication, saving fuel and perfect operation of engine.

[0034] Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the invention. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the invention.
